[The winner of this award was The Last Of Us Part II]
[Voiced by StephanosRex]
As if straight out of an entry-level college course, Druckmann and his team set out to create the most uninspired revenge plot possible. Naughty Dog started this endeavor by retconning the previous game’s writing, and using that retcon to set up possibly the most hateable character of all time. Then they make you play as them, and in exchange, they set up the previous character you played as yеt another “most-hateable” charactеr of all time. Then makes you play as them again.
Like, we get what you were going for, Neil, we do. You wanted to show that deaths aren’t always glorious. You wanted to show the gritty, savage nature of humanity when survival and revenge are on the table. But you didn’t set up two characters with unique stories and motivations, you set up two absolutely unlikeable bitches that we want nothing to do with, then gave them both an entourage of obnoxious pests to follow them around like a swarm of mosquitoes you just can’t escape from.
In your attempts to portray the raw, unbridled fury of humanity, Neil, you managed to forget possibly the most important aspect to video games: we pay $60 for these fucking things, we want to come home and unwind for a few hours and have some fun. Why would we ever pay that much money just to be miserable? There’s not even a payoff. Like, honestly, what did you expect?
